she and her husband mark kelly arrived on friday and are spending the weekend with family. giffords was shot in the head during a meet and greet in a supermarket parking lot. here's what kelly said, he said we have been dreaming of this trip for some time. gabby misses tucson very much and her doctors have said that returning to her hometown could play an important role in her recovery. and of course we wish her the very best. president barack obama hit the links today with house speaker john boehner. with joe biden and ohio governor john kasik. no word on any potential political deals out of that. a wildfire has burned more than a half a million acres so far in eastern arizona and look at the flames there. but today crews have the wallow fire under enough control to allow many evacuees to start

returning to their home. right now the fire is about 30% contained. senator john mccain surveyed the damage in his home state. another wildfire known as the monument fire is burning in the southern part of arizona. that one is only 15% contained. okay, so, check out the severe weather that hit colorado's eastern plains. look. you know, it made for some real slow going on highway 71 in elbert county. the road was covered with two inches of hail. there were a few funnel clouds spotted earlier, but no damage reported. the picture shared around the world via social media. and the two are speaking out about their kiss during a riot in vancouver. the photo quickly went viral.

it turns out they didn't fall to the ground in a moment of passion. as you can see, they had been knocked down by police after getting pushed around by the rioters. >> they weren't reasoning with people, they were doing their jobs. so we started -- >> we tried to run away, but we couldn't. >> i tripped up, i'm not sure, i was starting to get really frightened because i had never experienced anything like that before and it's really scary, you know, when you find yourself caught up in a situation that's that scary. i fell down and i didn't really know exactly what was happening and upset. >> and you were comforting her? >> i went back and they were beating us with the shields, kind of trying to get us to move. i don't know why, we weren't being aggressive towards them or anything like that, but eventually they passed over us, and that's when we were on the ground.

she was a bit hysterical obviously afterwards, and i was just trying to calm her down. >> alex thomas and scott jones actually haven't been dating that long. jones moved to canada from australia six months ago, he is working as a bartender and doing standup comedy but they will be forever linked through social media and through that picture. one of the flight attendants for american eagle airlines wasn't who he said he was. that's according to prosecutors and the airline as well. police arrested johann porter. they say he used another man's identity to sneak his way into that flight attendant job. what do we know about what happened here? how did he do all of this? >> it's really disturbing when you think about it. and this is the guy who apparently had a lot to hide, don, we learned in court this morning, he was in miami in court, when he was confronted at

the airport, mr. porter refused to say who he was, why he stole someone's id and why he got a job as a flight attendant with american eagle. we know he came to the u.s. from guyana, but his status at this point is unclear. porter had been charged with six counts of identity theft and three counts of forgery among other charges. he's being held on a million dollars bond. when he was arrested at the airport on friday, he had multiple forms of phony i. d. on it. >> there are already plans to deport him, correct. >> we have not yet confirmed that he was indeed illegal, but that's what we heard from immigration officials. a big mystery is how is he able to become a flight attendant? the airline put out a statement saying that they're actively involve in this investigation but they aren't answering our questions about the details of his employment.

a spokesperson says airline flight crews are vetted against terrorist screening watch lists and it's up to the airline to verify a potential employee's status. and although he was employed by the airline, he had to go through tsa screening to board the flights and he was also trained as a flight attendant trainee before he was busted on friday. >> as someone who has to travel a lot, it doesn't sit well with me and you and a whole lot of other people. allison kosik, good too finally meet you on television instead of at home. okay, listen to this. airplanes dropped bombs near a united nations camp as sudan prepares for its independence next month. and could new york become the nation's sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage. there is a very contentious debate going on here, and we'll

i have done so much with little for so long that i could do anything with nothing. and it wasn't just -- it wasn't just catchy that she said, i got to see her do it. >> and that also means learning to manager expectations. >> i think one of the most important things that i have taught both of my children about money is that more money, more problems. just because you do acquire money does not mean that you're not going to have problems elsewhere in your life. >> reporter: according to a recent survey 42% of people polled say they learned the most about personal finance from their parents. >> i think right now, again, after the dinner table conversation of how was school today? a very good place to start is, let's talk about money, let's talk about what we're going to do to try to save money. let's talk about the stock market.

unfortunately, the

distraction that i have created as made that impossible. so today i'm announcing my resignation from congress. > >> beyond pervert, anthony weiner has been called a political pariah. this week the congressman resigned in disgrace, but many still point out that his sexting wasn't illegal and didn't affect his job. okay so when did americans grow so intolerant of scandal. our expert dr. wendy walsh joins us, do you remember jerry studs, he was a massachusetts congressman who slept with several underaged pages and then he went on to serve 13 more years in office, that was in the 1980s and then there are presidents ken dnedy with their out of marriage activities. so what has changed here? what make this is situation different? >> i'll tell you what's changed, we have seen a massive rise of

women, this was a time when the american workforce nearly doubled, not because we grew in population, but because so many women went into the workforce. so what that means is that women are now lawmakers who can be his judge and jury, they are journalists and they can be sort of his comp, if you will. so we are now seeing women's opinion, because we have been talking about this weiner thing for two weeks and there tends to be a gender divide, wlot lots of men don't believe that sexting is a crime, but a lot of women do because it's a relationship outside of the marijuana. -- of the marriage. >> i want to show this. and of course, the tabloids here are having a field day with this and it's hard to escape this. this one is tame compared to some. this one says hide the weiner,

and this one says "weiner, i'll stick it out." >> it's just his name, that it makes the story that much more interesting to people because of his name. you're canadian, did you know that your people can write? i thought it was the people that went crazy after the loss of the stanley cup, but mob mentality must have come into play. you don't usually see canadians behaving like this, but they did during the '90s. >> being canadian is an oxymoron, i think. but we also turn out great comedians and country singers. i think this is testosterone worki ing katrin ing can that iu

kind of look to each other for the queues of what's socially acceptable. but mom, everybody's doing it. it's kind of that mentality, everybody's doing it so let's do it too. >> i want you to look at this. this is outside the trial of casey anthony. look at this real quick, wendy. this is the one that, the piece of video that stuck out to me this week. it looks like a man putting a boy in a head lock. apparently some people cut in line to get a seat in the courtroom. what in the world? >> i don't often say wtf, but, don, really, we have become this media obsessed country. and people are obsessed about huge media stories that get a lot of attention.

they want to go and see this up-close, and, yeah, the violence is so uncalled for. so uncalled for. but -- yeah, shocking to me. >> dr. wendy, appreciate your perspective. thank you so much. >> you know, new york could be on the verge of becoming the largest state in the country to legalize same-sex marriage. a heated debate on whether that should happen is straight ahead. you don't want to miss it. but first -- the front man for one of the loudest and most famous rock bands is on a mission to help young people preserve their hearing. in today's "human factor." our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta, what prompted this action by paul stanley of kiss? ♪ i want to rock 'n roll >> reporter: to rock 'n roll all night. and party every day.

wanting to hide your ears. >> absolutely. >> reporter: you grew your hair out to go that? >> absolutely. >> reporter: strength and a little defiance. >> something told me inside that i could do music. and interestingly being deaf in one ear is not something i saw as a hardship or something that was a hindrance at all. >> reporter: but offstage, hearing did become a hindrance. so he had surgery. the surgery was successful, but it did not equal self-acceptance, that stanley learned over time and by working with kids. >> you talk to kids who have microsia, they're like, mr. stanley, i'm the one getting teased on the schoolyard, i'm not a rock star. >> you'll find out how much something means to you by how hard you're willing to work to

overcome it. >> reporter: dr. sanjay gupta, cnn. fiber one, cardboard, no, delicious, yes. uh, try the number one! i've never heard of that.

there's folks you don't normally see in shorts. those four rounded out the group. the president and the speaker teamed up to win $2 each. it was a friendly wager there, no word on any major political deals. if that happens we'll tell you about it. prosecutors say a man who used someone else's identity to get a job as a flight attendant. jophan porter was carrying several forms of fake identification. immigration authorities plan to deport him but a spokesman wouldn't say where he's from or what his residency status is. american eagle says this doesn't involve any customer information. okay, get ready, this one is going to be a hot topic, it has been, it's going to heat up even more, especially within the next coming 24 hours or so. new york soon may become the most populous state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage. the vote could happen in a matter of days. as i just said, supporters say

they're closer than ever to making this happen. but opponents insist that they are not giving up. cnn's mary snow has this report. >> reporter: leslie miller and alicia salazar, both doctors and mothers of two children are hoping lawmakers in albany will give them something they have never had, a legal marriage. >> i think we're sending a loud and clear message about our life and our choice and who we are of whether our love is legitimate or not. >> reporter: andrew cuomo is leading an intense political push to legalize same-sex marriage. big supporters are new york city mayor mike bloomberg an independent, who reached out trying to sway lawmakers. >> i'm calling on behalf of new yorkers united for marriage. >> reporter: timothy doll lalans trying to sway the bill. last time i consulted an atlas,

he writes, it is clear we're living in new york, in the united states of america, not in china or north korea. athletes are also weighing in. david tyree has joined the fight against same-sex marriage. >> if this does come forth, this will be the beginning of our country sliding toward, you know, it's a strong word, but anarchy. >> reporter: unlike three previous attempts in new york to legalize same-sex marriage, the campaign is closer than it's ever been. it's getting a significant amount of money from an unexpected source, republicans and conservatives. among the groups fighting to pass the bill, the human rights campaign. >> and we have been able to raise a lot of money for republicans. i think in some ways it's a sea change, but we're also seeing a national thing and we saw it

again on repealing don't ask, don't tell. >> reporter: republican state senators are also being targeted heavily by opponents. brian brown of the national organization for marriage says republicans who support it will face consequences nextelection. the group is funding primary challenges. >> right now there's only two republicans who have said they are going to vote to redefine marriage. we are definitely going to be involve in those races. i think they are making a tragic mistake and they need to be held accountable for supporters. >> one of the things stalling it is that some republicans are concerned about protection for religious institutions and organizations against a potential of lawsuits if this bill becomes law. mary snow, cnn, new york. >> all right, mary, thank you very much. i'm sure you have heard some discussion about this, but not one like you're going to hear coming up. we're going to debate this issue

new york is the new bootal groubootal -- battleground in the debate over same-sex marriage. tweet me some stuff because i'm going to ask our guests and maybe you'll give me some information i need. supporters say they are close to passing a law, mobile just one more vote in the state senate would push it over the top as soon as next week. but opponents really are not giving up. i want to talk about this. two key players in this debate. daniel o'donnell is a key sponsor of the bill in the new york assembly, where the bill passed earlier this week, rosie o'donnell's brother. brian brown is against the bill. you saw him in mary snow's piece just before the break, he's part of the national organization for marriage. mr. brown, we have already said you're against it. you have republicans who are supporting this new bill, are you worried?

are you nervous about it? >> well, obviously it's crunch time right now, in 2009, we heard from the lead response sorry tom duane that the votes were there and the bill ended up being defeated 38-4. so the notion that this is a done deal is wrong. what we're doing right now, there are thousands of calls going in to senators. the legislature should not be deciding something as important as marriage. the voters of new york should have the same ability as every other state, this has been put to a vote, they have all said no, we know what marriage is, we know it's unique and special, and we do not want it redefined. >> you say the voter also decide. but this is -- this is a recent poll here. 58% of new yorkers support same-sex marriage while more than one-quarter of voters oppose the law. this is a top priority. are you sure you want to take to

it the voters? >> absolutely sure, we saw polls like this in california and in maine. if the voters of new york had a free and fair vote and could vote on the issue of marriage, they would vote to protect it. let's give daniel o'donnell a chance to talk here. it's going to be gay pride in new york on sunday, the big parade. do you think people will be celebrating them? >> absolutely, i am confident that with the governor's leadership, we're going to get this done. no one ever asked me in 2009 whether it was going to pass and i would have told you it wasn't going to pass. >> so listen, there is one senator here, state senator who is on the fence, i think it's greg ball, is a republican state senator who's on the fence. but all of these talks and negotiations with the governor here, we're hearing that it may just sort of be a cover, because if one person is the one who decides and they won't get support in an upcoming election,

so they're trying to get maybe more than 32, 35 or 36 or more and that is the negotiation tactic going on. what do you think about that mr. o'donnell and then i'll asking you as well mr. brown. >> i know greg ball, whether or not he's actually seriously considering this issue, i don't know, i somewhere never spoken to him. i can assure you i have spoken to many senators and the vast majority of new yorkers want this resolved. my ability to get a license for my state has any impact on anyone else and finally we're on the precipice of that happening. whether it's mr. ball or one of the other senators, i don't really care, we only need one and we're going to get one. >> brian brown, same question? >> i don't think that they're close to getting another senator, necessarily. and i think that to say that redefining marriage won't affect

anyone but danny o'donnell, you're absolutely false. when you're shutting down catholic charity associations in massachusetts -- >> i know what you're saying, let me just say about that, hold on. >> do with this bill, it's about licenses issued by the state, it has nothing to do with adoption agencies. >> there are many people especially legal experts who say that is a red herring, that religious institutions and adoption agencies won't be shutting down and they're already going against the law. why are you saying that? >> there was a letter just published by three of the greatest legal scholars of our time, mary anne glendon of harvard and a number of other folks who actually support same-sex marriage. none of them deny that there are major unintended conflicts of same-sex marriage. and in illinois, we heard this

same argument, it's not going to affect anyone other than the couples getting married. right now there are three lawsuits because the catholic church, the adoption agencies are being told they have to shut down if they will not adopt to same-sex couples, simple as that. >> there were lawsuits too when they overturned desegregation and all of those things. and if it had been put to a vote -- let me ask you -- brian brown, this same thing, if you had taken that to a vote to the people, then we wouldn't have equality among races and even gender here, do you know that? >> you're comparing apples and oranges, laws about interracial marriages were about keeping the races apart, and same-sex marriage is about bringing the genders together. frankly i work with a lot of african-american leaders, i

think they're tired of the civil rights movement being hijacked in the effort to redefine marriage, they're simply wrong. >> so you don't view this as a civil rights issue? >> i don't view it as a civil rights issue, it's a fundamental rights. >> marriage is one of our fundamental rights, in the end, this is not a question about anything other than equality, the state issues licenses and they issue licenses to people and they're called marriage licenses, i'm not seeking marriage in a church, i'm not seeking anything from any religion. the cases that they have constantly referenced are not cases under the marriage law. there wasn't marriage in illinois. and so if in fact people want to change the human rights laws or the discrimination laws, they should make proposals and legislative bodies to do that. me getting a license has no impact on that and they know that. >> hang on, hang on.

daniel, finish and then you're going to have to wrap up. wrap up your points, daniel. >> they know that and there's no impact. >> i encourage people to go and read the letter on our website at nationformarriage.org. this isn't a question of expanding marriage, this is a question of fundamentally redefining marriage and saying that people like me are the equivalent of pagans. >> brian and daniel, we can continue this conversation for a very long time. but i appreciate you both coming on. i hope your viewers learn from this. it's going to be a really huge issue coming up on monday, they're going to vote on it. and we'll take you to beautiful aspen, colorado for the food and wine festival with one of the world's most top chefs. our next generation mobile broadband experience

general and often -- and the panel will be a person from the west coast, a person from the east coast, south, north, we get the view from the entire country. and i think that's what's amazing here. >> okay, what are the big trends in dining right now. there's always something new. >> well, i don't know what really is new right now, i mean of course there was the trend of the food and all that. i just opened a mediterranean restaurant in new york doing mediterranean cuisine. otherwise i think the food trend is from t-- it's farm to table. it's definitely farmers who are getting closer to chefs and food getting closer to chefs. >> let's talk about obesity real

quickly. huge problem in our country. here's what a top chef has to say about it. then i would like to get your thoughts on it. >> we don't preach junk food, we don't preach ridiculous portions. the obesity problem is due to the fact that people are not getting access to fresh food. and because of that, it is cheaper to eat junk food, fast food, canned food, preserved food than it is to eat an apple. >> what do you think is causing the obesity problem in the u.s.? >> well, i think first and foremost, i mean it's the food has to be natural, to the food has to be healthy, it's important to look local as well and to really watch the proportion of food you eat every day, because after all, you don't need to eat so much food sometimes, it's a question of being a little more sensitive to a diet which is not a diet, really, but a way of life. >> dachniel boulule, thank you
